Init Web Studio

Your business deserves a website as good as your work.

I build clean, mobile-friendly websites for contractors, salons, shops and other local businesses. Before you pay anything, I'll show you a preview of your new site, built from your Google listing and reviews.

Built for the way customers find you

Most people find a local business on their phone, read a few reviews and call. Every site I build is designed around that.

  • Looks right on phones

    Easy to read and navigate on any screen size.

  • Tap to call

    Your phone number, hours and directions one tap away.

  • Your reviews up front

    Show new customers what past customers already say about you.

  • Set up for Google

    Built so search engines understand what you do and where you work.

  • Hosting handled

    I set up your domain, hosting and security certificate for you.

  • Plain-English help

    Need a change? Send me a text or email. No tech jargon.

Simple, upfront pricing

One flat price for your site, with no surprise fees. Add ongoing care if you'd rather not think about it again.

Everything a customer needs on a single page: services, photos, reviews, hours and a call button.

Separate pages for each service, a photo gallery and room to grow as your business does.

Hi, I'm Rachel.

Rachel, founder of Init Web Studio

I've spent more than 20 years making technology make sense to people who have better things to do than learn it. I taught math and led a school math department, then spent over a decade building STEM education programs and digital learning tools for NASA.

Today I'm CTO of Init Esports, and I started Init Web Studio because good local businesses too often get lost online. I handle the tech, explain what matters in plain English, and make sure your website brings you calls.
